Caramelize a small saucepan: Pour 1/4 c of the sugar into the pan and heat over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until sugar melts and turns into a golden brown caramel. This should be done slowly; it should take 20 – 25 minutes. If you melt the sugar more quickly, the taste won’t be as rich. Once the caramel is ready, swirl pan to coat.

Place saucepan into preheated pan of water. Bake 45 minutes, then refrigerate.

To serve, remove top skim with fork and discard. Place serving plate over top of saucepan and invert. Caramel sauce will run, so flip quickly and make sure the plate is large enough or has a lip to contain the sauce.

About the Blog

Writer’s Roadhouse is that wooden table in your favorite place where you meet your friends. The cold beer, the slaps on the back, the circle of smiles as you pull out a chair and sit down. Each Tuesday you’ll find a writing topic, a question, and an open discussion on the craft and process of writing. The subjects will be pulled from a question you ask or something I’ve puzzled over myself. The idea is to gather advice and debate technique, but we won’t get far if you don’t join in.

If inspiration strikes I’ll also blog on Fridays, but these will be more about life than writing.
